'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

I don't know if there's a litmus test
I'm pretty sure there isn't. I've talked it over with a few copyright pros, and each company seeking permission has different thresholds after which they do seek permission. (E.g., 1 line plus title from a poem, 150 words from an essay, but 300 words from a published book.)
It's a little irritating -- you only find out the niggling details of copyright law by a lawsuit actually happening. This would explain why so many people say, "Copyright? What copyright?" when photocopying a whole book for a for-profit research project.
(This really happened, many times.)
I think Strega's point was that, once upon a time, fans were outraged when unauthorized people tried to make a profit off their asses and that it's not so much the case anymore.
Yeah, I reread it all (again) will confirm I'm an idiot and had added my own world into Strega's phrasing, so sorry. Although, the reason fans profit from SERENITY is complex, but it's definitely there more than other fandoms I've seen. (Example: ebaying advanced screening tickets for $200 each, which happened pretty much hundreds of times in 2005).
Also, Universal have told the law firm to drop the case against Susan. She's free to keep sellin'.
I'd heard that the case was resolved but I hadn't realized that they'd told her she could continue selling.
Well, they've said the designs left are okay from Universal's point o' view. Which I'd agree with.
FYI - Morena Baccarin is going to be on How I Met Your Mother tonight. (omg!girl!crush!)
And Nathan is on Lost on Wednesday. Adam's new show starts the following Wednesday.
Tom Lenk is in this ep too working in the coffee shop Morena's working in.
these casting directors sure do like the Jossverse actors.
The creator of HIMYM has said before (only half joking) that he wants to have every Buffy and Angel guest star at some point. They are huge Buffy fans. The creator's wife demanded that Aly get the Lily role.
And it was High-larious.
I think that Tom Lenk's hair could have it's own show. Possibly with Jared Padalecki's.
It was odd to see Morena playing a normally dressed contemporary woman.
